Swine Flu---anyone had it????

(1/6) > >>

D.A.L.U.I.:
I think, yeah think, I've had the swine flu.  It set on me last weekend and by Monday pretty much grounded me.  I was on a business trip to Atlanta.  I controlled it w/ Sudafed D, Nyquil at night, and aspirin, all the while drinking lots and lots of water.  Well on the mend  but when I got home Friday, my wife went down with it--must have caught it from me.  What a mess.  One of the crew we had in Atlanta, in his twenties went down, but really hard. 
There isn't any vaccine yet, and by the time it comes it too late for me or my wife, and  my co-worker.  I do have concerns for the daughter who's living at home though. 

How about you guys, anybody dealing with it, or had it?  Mine seems to finally be improving after a week.  What's the old phrase, it takes a week with a doctor or seven days without!

Razor X:

Sorry to hear you've been ill, but glad that you're on the mend.

I haven't been keeping up with this like I probably should have. What kind of symptoms did you have?

D.A.L.U.I.:
Well, for me it started w/ a scratchy sore throat, and a cough, and the cough got worse, and my temperature at the worst, after two days was a little over 100.  I felt tired, beaten totally lacked any energy or concentration.  At night, sweats & chills, more hacking, w/ disgusting phleme--from yellow to dark green.  Then the fever broke, I kept coughing up all kinds of disgusting stuff, but finally, today, I'm only coughing once every couple of hours, rather than minutes.  The coughing was exhausting, I couldn't sleep until I took a triple dose of Nyquil.  But I'm on the mend.  Damn, I'm glad I didn't wind up with any digestive problems--but that would have been tough--I didn't have any hunger at all--I've lost over 8 pounds.  I just kept drinking water and pissing my guts out.  That's what it was for me.  My wife had nausia for several days, although that's breaking.  My work buddy had really bad vomiting and diarriha the first night, then coughing.  All had fevers of just over 100.

My son got it last week. Lasted for about 4 days.. We first thought it was just a bad cold or respiratory infection.  Overall, his symptoms were pretty mild and he got over it very quickly.
